my recent changes to my car could be contributing to my traction problems,
as well as my super heat cycled, bald kumhos.
but i remember the rear stepping out on lucy under WOT and thats a lot less
torque! and i think i was on a clean line...
stuart got out on the marbles big time one run and i thought he was a
goner... nope, with AWD, just gave it more gas and clawed back onto the
line.
but GGF is 5 minutes from my house, so this is not complaining, just trying
to get my car to stick there. i had a few fast runs during fun runs; when
my tires get warm all of sudden there is hella traction!!!! they will never
get warm on three runs in the winter. hmmm now i think i should over-drive
like mad my first run....
